#nuezthehorse

Tail better than any thing else coming at ya ❤❤❤

Im pretty much an eventer❤

I like the half seat aka light seat.I do have one question though. My trainer says when you are cantering to have your leg in a rhythm but don't seem to get the rhythm. Can you do a video on the rhythm your leg is supposed to have plz

Molly: I'm not scared of cows look! Me: I thought you were! Molly: nope not at all mum! Me: Ugh fine let's go to the cows paddock Molly: mm sec9nd thoughts IM BOLTING BYE MUM Me: 🙄

I think these are great points I love vids like these it really helps when I'm training my mare's.

Ewwwwwwwww😂

“Not the smartest” people lack special awareness, and have decided not to consider their actions or the consequences. “Do I know what I’m doing? Let’s do it anyway!” Sadly, for anybody that owns a car, we know how common they are lol

Having your videos has been unspeakably helpful to me on my horse journey! Didn’t realize how well my first ride went thanks to your advice. I’ve even decided to invest in your courses on respect and lunging when it comes time. You have been incredibly helpful to thousands of nameless folks on the other side of the screen, making sure that the advice you’re giving is best practice and honest, and acknowledging that mistakes can and will be made. Being personal with your own riding journey and how you’ve made many of your decisions provides a lot of solace as well. You make your videos very digestible for the average anxious human/new horse person lol.

You're my favorite horse trainer

That horse is like ...just a little lower

My horse today spooked almost lost balance and fell off luckily I didn’t

This is what husbands are for and yes, I am a husband. Wear it like a badge of honor.

I have Arabic horse and he is 16 years old but his shape is not good I don’t know why like you can see the bones is coming out and his belly is fat and there is gap in between how can I make this better any one have idea is it the food or the training or what ! ! !

I disagree with your view of allowing the horse to say no, which I explained in the comments to your video where you read the comments to this video. That was a good move, btw. Here I'm just going to pick on you for putting a saddle on your horse's back and letting him toss it off. What was that supposed to teach him?? There are effective ways to introduce a horse to a saddle without giving him a chance to buck it off. I don't get that at all.

Have you touched him 😂😂

Can you do a video of where is the best place to buy a horse

Also, where is a trustworthy place to get horses?

I was getting a draft, and i asked for pics, and they said they don't do picture . They also said that buyers don't get their horses. Thats when i started seeing red flags

Good on you Carmela for reading those comments. They were all excellent. And I think you're right that in most cases "letting the horse say no" isn't literal and absolute. It means you acknowledge the horse's concern about something, and respond to it by backing off temporarily, and not forcing the horse forward (or whatever) before he's ready. IMO Warwick Schiller's single most important contribution to the discussion of horse training is his strong belief in letting the horse say no. He has numerous videos on it, my favorite of which is when he lets their highly trained but introverted reining stallion Rey sidestep waves (under saddle) and decide for himself when he's ready to venture into the water. A more mundane situation from my own life is approaching a horse with a saddle. Maybe they don't feel like being ridden that day, but if you approach a horse with a saddle and get a reaction -- a head swing toward you, or the horse moving away from you -- you stop and wait. Maybe do that a couple times. After a few minutes the horse realizes two things: One, you SEE them, and understand them; and, two, that it's probably going to happen, eventually LOL. So they get with the program. I haven't seen the video you're referring to but now I'm very curious. Great job here.

Allowing my horse to say no is less about the no and more about allowing him to reveal his inner feelings about something so I can help shape his inner reality and/or judge his mind that day (similar to a quick lunge before riding). If I bulldoze past his no, sure, he can learn to suck it up and accept whatever I am asking -- but this often amounts to mere tolerance, not willingness. There's always a reason for the no and it can be something as benign as they're tired and would rather not interact, but horses largely want to cooperate and be compliant because it is the nature of a prey animal. This distinction is important to me because my personal goal is this: creating a willing participant while engaging in guilt-free horsemanship (using coercive methods outside black and black-and-white issues of safety has a severe negative effect on me and my own emotional regulation). I have the luxury of being able to care about and cultivate his emotional world because he is simply my pet and so I do. It's worth noting though that my horse is a young bottom-of-the-herd sensitive type who withdraws and goes into shutdown SO fast. Having a voice and letting him feel heard has done wonders for our relationship and his confidence. We had such a rocky start, I can cry just thinking about how far we have come despite only being in each other's lives for a mere year. I honestly did not set out to incorporate consent into our interactions -- I believed it was something I would never do and didn't understand it. Now I can't imagine life without it. It truly has made my interactions with my horse safer because it has given us such a clear language in which to communicate. Much less is lost in translation! The goal of allowing a no is ultimately building trust so when you do need to insist they trust you're looking out for them because you've proven your competency by showing them you understand them. It's like depositing funds into a savings account to take away from when you need it. I highly recommend it for cooperative care at the very least, as it's a great place to start whether you want to end there or move further into this perspective. Personally, I ride the middle.

😂you are right ❤

I personally don’t agree with the martingales, I use one with my horse as a reminder, to say “hey, we are not a giraffe” and “we don’t put our head in the air”, he is 20 years young, and has had a lot of time off, so he is greenish.

Please look at the Linda tellington touch Linda is still alive and still training with her methods and she is the queen of training holistically she usually trains with special equipments if you want to know more about that I should just looking her up again like I said I'm not good with words

When a horse is lazy and continuously says no to everything that is when you put them in the round pen and ask them to work

So my horse had issue with cows but she would try to attack them and she was very protective of me

When I talk about letting a horse make they own choice I have been seeing a lot of improvement in a lot of horses that do this it's a way I was taught in California when I made that comment I am not good with words and never have been my vocabulary is as bad as my hearing my sincere apologies that I didn't make it understandable and a lot of times my words to do some more like and then attacked in anything but I promise that was not my intentions

Amazing job!! I actually ride with this type of halter all the time. There is a way to tie it! It pained me watching this bc I was like NOOO YOU CAN TIE IT!!! Loll!😊😊😊😊

I dont think a horse doesnt do something JUST because he "doesnt feel like it". There is always a reason, no matter how big or small to us - buddy sour, achy back, sore foot, too dark, too much sunlight, flies, something in the brush, previous training trauma or mishap in past, etc.

Amish treat their animals like dirt. No wonder the pnoy was bitey.

Great vid for beginners! As a beginner, its been hard navigating so many styles of horse riding, so these general pieces of beginner advice really help. Thanks

You have got to be one of the most humble UA-camrs I have ever seen. You did not come at the people in the comments telling them they were wrong in their thinking or that people are terrible horse owners if they use different training techniques than you (as long as they are not abusing the horse). You very very politely showed us your views and also showed us that you took in the comments and learned something from it and it actually is making you more interest in learning about some of their suggestions and comments. Not a lot of people would do that and even less would post an entire video about it... I love watching you, I love watching your horses and I enjoy every video!

I bet your mom is so proud of you. I have watched yt creators who were much older than you talk down to those whose comments differ from his opinion, as if he knew all there was to know about horses. I just stopped watching him because of the condescending remarks & the need to correct every new horse lover who maybe didn't fully understand horse behavior. You are refreshing in this yt culture of being critical & down right offensive. Thank you for showing the other creators how it's done, young lady. We should always be willing to listen & learn from others.

i don't mean this to be rude, but martingales, spurs, and whips are training tools. they aren't the final result, but they're very helpful in reaching goals. of course, they need to be used in experienced hands but these aids aren't evil. i personally don't use them myself but like in this video, you can have an opinion without judging others. (also, tie downs keep horses heads down, there are many types of martingales all used for different purposes). just research tools and use them the right way before immediately shutting them down

I really appreciate you making this video! I love how you are willing to reconsider things and don't just stubbornly hold to one opinion! The ideas you discussed in this video are definitely new to me too and definitely something to think about!

Your mom is awesome! So brave!

Arabian, so cute though

I'm a girl but I'd name my horse Beau lol

You should totally do a collab with Gypsy Equestrian. You mentioned you're not a fan of positive reinforcement training, and she's an expert in that. You could have a great convo. She's in texas so it would have to be over zoom but i think it could be so educational

I’ve definitely had times where my mare said no for ‘no reason’. I didn’t nesecarily leave her alone, I just changed the question or waited before asking again. I think the extra time taken is worth it in the long run for a relationship with your horse. When it’s *her* choice, it makes the things she likes and doesn’t like much more obvious to me. However, there’s still things we’re working on where I haven’t figured out a gentler way of handling it and I can’t just wait. For example, lunging at grass. I tried Warwick Schiller’s method with little success- Even though he’s a phenomenal trainer. So we still have hurdles where she can’t literally always choose exactly what to do. Think about it like this- With toddlers, it’s common to pose a request as a question with choices. Do you want to clean up your toys now, and have time to read, or clean them up in 5 minutes without time to read? When you simplify that to “do you want to be haltered now?”, when the horse says no, i don’t just leave. i accept it and give physical space, then reapproach. maybe changing how i ask a few times. usually the only time she says no is when the horses were just fed. eventually she’ll allow it and i almost always have more hay waiting for her where she’s tied. allowing her to offer movements during groundwork is great too! for rhe first time ever she offered to walk over poles the other day without me walking with her. it was easy for her to go around them, but she chose to go over and i went to give her scratches and snacks as a “good job!!” giving horses a choice might be scary to a lot of people (including me) because it takes away our absolute power. but it 100% makes a safer, more confident partner in the end.

On some horses I do use spurs, simply because they aren't responsive enough to my aides, especially if I happen to sit on a horse that requires stronger aides than I am used to. I do have strong legs, I just really don't like giving strong aides, so when I happen to sit on a horse that is used to stronger aides (lack of training or not), spurs come in handy. I prefer "invisible" aides, using just the lightest pressure - which is less struggle on my part and no harm for the horse -, so both participants are happy and undestand each other. Yes, horses are all capable of learning to understand anything and listen better, but for some, it is a progress. I don't use spurs as a weapon of course, more like a teaching tool, as I can still get results this way. Using spurs doesn't mean you have to use them forever. As for me, later in the training I just remove the spurs and have a responsive horse. I had a horse that was so sensitive that I could turn her using mostly my bodyweight (she was ridden with spurs before I got her), but I also have another horse that had patches of lacking fur on his sides from the rider's excessive amount of leg rubbing and kicking. Now he has white fur there. When I went to see him the first time, I asked the owner about it and whether he had used spurs or not. He said "Oh, he doesn't need spurs!". When I sat on for a ride, there was a point when the horse just stopped and didn't want to move despite my aides. Well, I bought him anyway, and the first time I sat on him at home, I put on spurs. No issues since than, and he understood that leg aides aren't for nagging. So, yeah, riding without spurs is probably ideal, but in reality, there can be cases when they are useful, especially for those like me, who prefer riding through "thought transfer".

I've found @hackettequine2059 take on this quite useful. The core idea seems to be to break the task into small questions so that the horse is prepared and can answer 'yes'. She's got a nice video about loading: ua-cam.com/video/IYIzYoEJUhg/v-deo.html. I also think it is important for us to remember that 'saying no' is our human way of understanding horse behaviour and action. I'd prefer to think of it as a conversation and the horse isn't saying 'no' but 'I'm really not keen on that' -our response can then be, ok, lets see why ur not keen on it.

In my experience, when horses first realize they can say no; they are like a toddler. They say no to everything. So it may feel like you are regressing in training at first. We always ask our horses the same question 3 times in slightly different ways with pauses between asks. If you get 3 No’s, then it’s up to us to figure out why we are getting that hard no. Once you establish a willingness to listen, the horse will start to give yes responses to asks. It’s not fast and can be ego crushing. They don’t say no to reject you. They are rejecting that ask in that moment. So you break it down like you did with Tucker and Rouak with the tarp. Keep asking that same question. Example: Will you look at the tarp? When you get that, ask if they can walk up to the tarp. When you get that, you ask for one hoof on the tarp. And so on. We can say no and walk away without aggression. They learn they can do the same. Horses are social creatures like we are. So connect on that level. We care about them and they learn to care about us. Giving horses choice doesn’t take away from us in the long term. Short term, we don’t always get what we want right away. Long term, they look to us for what we want to do each day.

I love your way of thinking - how it allows the horse 🐴 to absorb what's being asked of him/her. And love that you don't depend on aides, like spurs. You explain things well. Enjoy your videos.

I hate catching them in the mouth Mane grabbing 👍 Love the way your elbows bend I’m an ancient rider hoping to return to riding/jumping again soon First time I’ve seen your videos Extremely helpful video thank you 😀

If you have the room this lady has a horse is GREAT, if you live in the city not so great. I kept horses for 10 years I did feed leases for 7 years and owner a Apalosa for 3 years. After 4 vists to the ER I gave up on riding. But the love you get from a horse is Just like A Dog. They are Beautiful Creatures.

good video, well done

I think those giant shire horses are pretty cool, they are just built like a brick house.

Concise video Carmella, the old adage of our horses owe us nothing is true in part. However, they want to work with us, learn with us, try with us, my mare may say no, but I ask myself why? I believe repertion like you state is the key. Learning pressure, be it leg or simple tools, is far better than spurs. We all occasionally require training aids but best for the bare minimum. Liking the fly masks. Fiamma isn't keen on them, but she is learning quickly. ❤
